His wife noticed that ants’ abdomens turned white when drinking milk. That’s why Dr. Mohamed Babu, of Mysore, South India, took droplets of food coloring and an exotic species of Indian ant and made a stunning set of photographs. Mixing different varieties of food coloring along with sugar, water and a waxy base, he set out small droplets of liquid on a white plastic sheet outside in his garden and let the ants do the rest. “As the ant’s abdomen is semi-transparent, the ants gain the colors as they sip the liquid,”he said.
Ants’ color preferences? “Curiously, the ants preferred light colors—yellow and green,” he said. “The darker green and blue drops had no takers, until there was no space around the preferred yellow and green drops.” Some of the ants even wandered between the colors, creating unique mixtures of different hues inside their own stomachs.
